Prevailing winds should push the fire to the east. Humidity recovery looks good and temps are only forecast to be in the low 80s. If the winds dont kick in this thing shouldnt grow too much. Hopefully anyway.

They still need more people on it. The fire that just started near Plantina is getting more support than this one it looks like.

This fire is so low priority in Nor Cal with other fires going on they are probably not going to get much of anything to this one.
Because:
1. No structures threatened yet
2. Only timber burning, mainly second growth, not much old growth there
3. Its arson, North Ops in Redding (ONCC) gets kinda mad when Hoopa lights one off when other fires are burning..
Once other fires start releasing people or this one hits Hwy 96 then they may get more resources. ( people, crews, engines)

And obviously you work in a dispatch in the area or GACC to know that the GACC gets pissed when a WILDFIRE starts. Yes arson happens every year in the area, due to some dumb ass thinking its funny, the way you’re putting it the fire dept is involved, can you explain why you would think the fire dept would be involved if their own home resources are out helping all the other fires / districts ? Maybe you’re staying that GACC gets pissed and doesn’t care that hoopa is burning so they dont care to send resources to help them, guess that’s good information to pass on to hoopas fire department.

Haven’t yet been able to find an up to the hour Air Quality Control Index site. Nothing on the Tribe’s TEPA site. Year before last there was a really good monitoring site. So far there’s only, “air quality forecasts.” Which is something. It’s really important to know the current index in real time if you have to be outside. Maybe Kim has a link?
